Has someone made a dfmt, like http://gofmt.com/ ?
Next question - standalone tool, or built in to dmd (like Ddoc)?
BTW, I think dfmt would be a significant win for D:
1. people expect this sort of thing these days
2. it tends to end bikeshedding arguments about the right way
to format things
3. it'll help standardize the format of D code in the D
repositories
4. it's simply nice and convenient!
5. it's a great first step when you're faced with fixing
someone else's crap code
I don't think it'll be hard to do as a builtin feature of dmd.
My only concern about it is if dfmt is changed, then we get
faced with a blizzard of changes in the D github repositories.
Since Brian Schott already wrote a dfix, it seems easier to make
dfmt the same program.
